Abstract The burgeoning field of semiconductor‐mediated organic conversion is of paramount significance, with zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn₂S₄) emerging as a standout candidate owing to its benign nature, optimal bandgap, extensive light absorption spectrum, remarkable physicochemical properties, and straightforward synthesis. This review examines the latest breakthroughs and the trajectory of ZnIn₂S₄‐based photocatalysts in the realm of selective organic transformation. We start with a distinct overview of the intrinsic physical attributes of ZnIn₂S₄and the underlying mechanisms driving its efficacy in photocatalytic organic transformations. Subsequently, the preparation methods of ZnIn₂S₄are summarized. The main focus is the state‐of‐the‐art photocatalytic application of various ZnIn₂S₄‐based photocatalysts, such as redox reactions, the construction of C−C, C−S and S−S bonds, and the cleavage of C−O, C−C, and C=C bonds. In the conclusion part, we provide our perspectives on the prospective advancements and the remaining challenges that lie ahead in the optimization of ZnIn₂S₄‐based photocatalysts, with the ultimate goal of enhancing their efficacy for a diverse array of photosynthetic applications. It is anticipated to inspire the strategic engineering of ZnIn₂S₄and other semiconductor‐based photocatalysts for various artificial photosynthesis reactions.
